sauntered into leading Springfield
hotel the other day. and was vastly SUI
priSed to see the usually genial host with
brow as black as Erebus.
What's up. Harry" ! ventured.
"Oh. nothing. except that I've had
.blawsted Hinglishman' here today who
made a great kick upon our bathing ar
rangements. You know pride myself on
them. and It has rather acidulated my tenn
per.
Il was talking to Hon. John W. Book
walter day or two ago." continued the
hotel man. his brow gradually clearing.
land he tells me that the Englishman and
his bath is a chronic and familiar nuisance
all over the habtahle globe. His concep-
tion of bath is to have a gallon of ice
water covering the bottom of a huge circu-
lar pan-six feet or sdn circumference and
about eight inches high. He stands or
squats in this after he gets out of bed in the
morning. and splashes and rubs himself
with a prodigious putting and blowing.
This is a rite as sacred to him as are his
ablutions TO a Mussulman. All other kinds
of washing he regards with naughty
contempt. Wherever he goes, in Paris,
or Cairo. or San Francisco. he
demands 10 have his cold water
and his round fiat tub. and if they are not
forthcoming he sees at once that il will be
impossible for him to respect T. esq people
or refrain from abusing them when he gets
home. In London it is as much as your
social life is worth to confess that you don't
splash yourself with ice-water every morn
ing. but prefer warm water instead. The
English listeners may conceal or dissemble
their emotions, but you will never quite get
back again 10 your former place in their
esteem, and ten to one they will speak of
you thereafter as man who never washes
himself. At an English hotel or country
house the servant in the morning brings
you pint of hot water for shaving. and
gallon of cold water for your bath. If you
ask for more hot water. your status in that
house Is fixed as surely as If you ate with
your knife
On Thursday evening Mrs. Elizabeth
Ludlow gave a very handsome Toto party"
at her residence on north Limestone street |
that active and socially success
full organization. the North Side eucher club. |
The affair was one of the most successful of
the season. Master John McGrew worked
the goose" for the game of ''loto" which is |
little mere than a humanized and parlorized |
version of the wicked game of keno"
The prizes were chiefly of hric-a-brac. and |
the mysterious recesses of the grab-hag |
produced some more than elegant |
ones. The winners of the priZes-in-chief |
were Mrs. S. +. McGraw. an exquisite Jug i
and Mr.. Joe Jacobs. a pocket edition of the !
Standard Manufacturing company's whistle. |
The fascinating game was discontinued at |!
| o'clock for dainty repast, to which fiat |
tering justice was done. The guests |
We're:
